The Normalization of Tattoos:
Branding by Consent
In the past, tattoos were used to brand slaves, criminals, and the "other."
In the present, the structure no longer needs to force the brand; it has convinced the "body" to brand itself with symbols that often reflect market
trends, brand loyalties, or collective subcultures.
Is it agency if the ink you put on your skin is a product of a social algorithm?
True agency is the power to leave the skin unblemished—to remain a "blank slate" that the structure cannot categorize.
On another note, the termination of the unborn, at 2 murders per second (as of now climbing past 4.6 million this year), is the ultimate failure of the Structure to protect the latent sovereignty of the human form.

LEGALITY vs. INTEGRITY.
If the law allows the violation of the vulnerable, the law is a malfunction of the environment

Waiting for a system to fix its own corruption is a form of surrender.

Stop Waiting for the Law to Be Moral

"Legal" is not a synonym for "Just."
When you say, "Stop waiting for the law to be moral," you are reclaiming the power of judgment.
Laws are merely the fossilized opinions of past authorities. If you wait for the Structure to give you the "green light" to act with conscience, you have already accepted that the
Structure owns your morality.

You are the only authority. If the law allows the violation of the vulnerable, the law is simply a malfunction of the environment. You don't obey a malfunction; you bypass it.

CANCELLED LINKEDIN. CANCELLED UPWORK. CANCELLED HOW PEOPLE USUALLY FIND REMOTE JOBS.

People are quietly landing remote jobs without applying all day.

Here are 12 prompts they don’t talk about:
1/ The "Problem Hunter" Prompt (Twitter/X or Threads)
Stop saying "I'm looking for work." Instead, post this:

"I’m looking to help 2 [Niche] companies solve [Specific Problem, e.g., high churn or slow page loads] this month. If you’re struggling with this, DM me, I’ll send over a free 5-minute audit of your current setup." Why it works: You move from 'supplicant' to 'specialist.'
2/ The Slack "Value Loop" Prompt
Join industry-specific Slacks (like Superpath for content or ProductLed for PMs). Don't check the #{jobs} channel first. Use the search bar for "does anyone know how to..." then reply:

"I saw you were struggling with [Topic]. I handled a similar transition at my last role using [Specific Tool]. Happy to jump on a quick 10-minute Loom to show you the workflow if it helps!"

I'm shocked people still don't use Claude Cowork to dominate local SEO

I DON’T NEED A YEAR TO OUTRANK YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS. 60 DAYS IS ENOUGH WITH CLAUDE COWORK.

Here's how I would do it:
1. I’d use Claude Cowork for ranking factors pattern recognition

“Using the data already collected from the top 3 competitors, do NOT give suggestions or fixes. Only identify patterns across them: common primary and secondary categories, typical review count ranges, photo upload frequency, and keyword usage patterns in business names and descriptions.

Output similarities only. No advice, no conclusions, no next steps.”
2. I’d use Claude Cowork to do all the keyword research for me.

"Open Chrome, go to ahrefs and analyze my competitor XYZ. com’s top 20 pages, extract their target keywords, search volumes, and give me a prioritized list with difficulty scores in a spreadsheet."

Done in 10 minutes. Not 10 hours.

Re next week's vote on the SAVE Act, rewatch this scene from The Breakfast Club. It's funny because no one gets a fake ID so they can vote. And - no matter what some racist, demagogic Republican tells you - voting is not why immigrants come to America.
1. Here is the bill they are bringing to the floor next week. It requires that you must have proof of citizenship in order to vote. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
2. This is the legislative equivalent of requiring that you prove you graduated from 4th grade before you can apply to graduate school - in the sense that it doesn't solve a real problem but would hurt folks who can't access those records.

🚨While attention has been focused on medical groups backing off from gender surgeries in minors and a $2M detransitioner lawsuit, an important exchange has taken place in Stat News Opinion First between authors and critics of the HHS report on pediatric gender dysphoria.

👇
Last week, a group of self-described “pediatric bioethicists” and advocates for pediatric medical transition (PMT), including Yale Medicine’s Meredithe McNamara, criticized the HHS report, writing that “analysis of its poor ethical reasoning remains urgently needed.” Image
Today, a group of HHS report authors responded, explaining why the report’s reasoning is consistent with widely accepted principles of medical ethics and pointing to serious flaws in the McNamara group’s article. Image

Zionism is Biblical, as Roger Froikin wrote, "Zionism started 4,000 years ago, not in the late 19th century, with the promise to Avraham, Yitzchaq, and Ya’acov, with Moshe (Moses) 3,400 years ago and the trek through Sinai to Eretz Yisrael.
1)
Through periods of plenty and famine, exile, and conflicts, B’nei Yisrael (now referred to as Jews) looked to the Land of Israel as their homeland, promised by the Creator to a people chosen to have a special role in the history of civilization."
2)
We must be the ones to define Zionism and not have antisemites who know nothing about Jewish history or those who twist it define who we are.

2/ Flexible Dates Price Hack

Prompt:
"I want to fly from [insert city] to [insert destination] within [insert month]. Act like a travel hacker. Compare prices for all days in that month and tell me which exact dates are cheapest to depart and return, and why."

The threat is not AI.
The threat is using it
before you know how to think without it.Image
1️⃣ Soft Reality Check

You use flights instead of walking.
Calculators instead of abacuses.
Search engines instead of libraries.

Why is this the only tool that scares you?
2️⃣ Structural Exposure

Every major cognitive leap in history
was first called decay.

Writing was said to weaken memory.
Printing was said to weaken thinking.
The internet was said to weaken attention.

Now AI.

The pattern repeats.
The fear just changes its name.

BLAZING SADDLES was released 52 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great comedies of the 1970s, and among the most popular of director Mel Brooks, the story of how it was made is a cascading waterfall of creative alternatives...

1/36 Image
Image
Image
Image
The concept originated from Andrew Bergman's 1971 treatment Tex X, purchased by Warner Bros. for $50,000. It was bought as a vehicle for blacklisted comedian Dick Gregory to lead, but plans soon changed.

2/36 Image
Image
Producer Michael Hertzberg recognised Mel Brooks' unique ability to handle racial satire after The Producers released to huge acclaim in 1967, recruiting him in 1972 as director following Gregory's departure.

10 years ago I herniated a disc in my back.

- Pain
- Sciatica
- Inability to train

But now I deadlift over 220kgs.

Here are the 4 Simple Exercises I used to get my back strong and pain free:

= Thread =
1. Cobra Stretch:

• Lie face down with hands under your shoulders.
• Gently push your torso up, keeping your hips glued to the floor.
• Breathe out as you reach the top and hold for 2–3 seconds.

The Benefit: This extension helps to decompress the spine.
2. Thoracic Rotations:

• Start on all fours (quadruped position).
• Place one arm out a 90 degree to your body
• Streth the other across your body
• Follow the movement with your eyes, then return to center.

The Benefit: Improving upper-back mobility reduces the excessive rotational stress placed on the lower back.
